Auto Mode Permissions

Guides when and how to use Claude Code's auto mode for permission handling. Use when deciding between default, auto, and --dangerously-skip-permissions flow, enabling auto mode for long multi-file edits, responding to repeated classifier blocks, or (as an admin) turning auto mode off via managed settings.

Auto mode permissions workflow

Instructions

Choose auto mode when you want fewer permission interruptions than the default mode but more safeguards than --dangerously-skip-permissions.
Enable auto mode with claude --enable-auto-mode, then switch permission modes within a session (e.g., Shift+Tab) as needed.
Expect auto mode to automatically approve actions that look safe while blocking actions that look risky; if actions are repeatedly blocked, be ready to approve a prompt or adjust the plan.
Use isolated environments when running long tasks, and treat auto mode as risk-reducing rather than risk-eliminating.
If you are an admin and need to prevent use of auto mode, set the managed setting disableAutoMode to disable it.

Examples

User: "Refactor the project to use the new config format across all packages; keep tests passing."
Assistant: "I will enable auto mode to reduce approval interruptions during the multi-file changes, and I will avoid any mass-deletion commands."

User: "Run a long migration script and update docs. Stop and ask if anything looks destructive."
Assistant: "I will proceed in auto mode for routine edits, and I will pause for confirmation if the classifier blocks an action repeatedly."
